5/21 - ECF G1 vs. IND - Redemption on the Parquet

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Need to run less offense through Al.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This series is personal for Aaron

 

[128]

When was the last like really good DW game? Was it early in the Cleveland series?

Didn't he go off in Game 5 of that series?

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Game 1 is the new Game 2?

 

[Captaincoop]

They're shooting 54% from the field and 45% from three... and Turner is 7/9 and 18 points.

Their defense is atrocious, but they're hitting their shots.

True, but mostly because they're getting a nonstop parade of open shots.

I don't understand what the Celtics are trying to do on offense, nobody is moving at all.

 

[mikeford]

Genuinely infuriating this game is tied

 

[Ale Xander]

Please don’t get hurt, JT

 

[Helmet Head]

Easy bucket after easy bucket. Terrible defense.

 

[Auger34]

Pretty indefensible lineup choice as the team coming off a ton of rest.

Yeah, this has been a really bad first half for Joe.

 

[Dinkleberries]

Kornet may be unplayable against the pacers. Get well soon Porzingis

Free Queta!

 

[kfoss99]

53.8% from three! Maybe try a different defensive strategy. As good as we are on offense, we should just force teams to take twos. No one can put score us that way.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

White just lit Nesmith up with a pick

 

[mikeford]

Fuck DP3 while we're here

 

[Ale Xander]

Kornet may be unplayable against the pacers. Get well soon Porzingis

How long is Tillman’s bereavement?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Celtics should not be getting outrebounded. That's the stat that really stands out to me.

Obviously, the Pacers' shooting and assist numbers are huge, but rebounding is about effort.

 

[8slim]

This is stunning. I’m stunned.

 

[k-factory]

Yeah, this has been a really bad first half for Joe.

I mean - he’s got to see if Pritchard, Hauser and Kornet can play

 

[Marbleheader]

Got to make those Jaylen

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is stunning. I’m stunned.

Why?

You think this Indy team is gonna lose by 20 every game? They had the second best offense ever.

 

[Helmet Head]

I mean - he’s got to see if Pritchard, Hauser and Kornet can play

One of them can.

 

[Auger34]

I mean - he’s got to see if Pritchard, Hauser and Kornet can play

Playing Kornet 9 mins is insane. He’s getting abused. Stapling 2 of them to each other is fucking moronic

 

[103mph Screwball]

This is stunning. I’m stunned.

Why? This is routine by now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice shot,
Reggie

 

[Spelunker]

Jesus fucking christ.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Game as advertised, no fucking defense.

 

[Captaincoop]

That's just a sad fucking half.

 

[Ale Xander]

I mean - he’s got to see if Pritchard, Hauser and Kornet can play

Pritchard had been fine

 

[128]

This is stunning. I’m stunned.

The Pacers are absolutely elite on offense. Play poor defense against them are your own peril.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Terrible D there. A set play for Halliburton and no one guards him

 

[CreedBratton]

Yup, they need Porzingas badly.

 

[mikeford]

Fuck that half

 

[JCizzle]

This "November in Charlotte" type energy since the early 1Q.

 

[chilidawg]

JFC you've got to guard him.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its now a six and a half game series

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Well, that quarter was a nut punch. Win the second half, win the game.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Everyone in the world knew that shot was coming, come on.

 

[bosockboy]

Every team has the shooting night of their lives at our place.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why the fuck didn’t White show on that shot AT ALL?

 

[kfoss99]

Probably not sustainable for either team to give up 30+ every quarter. Lock in the D, boys.

 

[Auger34]

Terrible D there. A set play for Halliburton and no one guards him

The Pacers are getting WIDE OPEN shots. Something needs to change

 

[slamminsammya]

are y'all excited for.... VARIANCE lol

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Surely the Pacers won't continue to shoot over 50% from 3.

 

[8slim]

Why?

You think this Indy team is gonna lose by 20 every game? They had the second best offense ever.

JFC. I’m allowed to be stunned that they torpedoed a 10+ point lead in minutes and torched our D after we seemingly had them locked down early.

NOT EVERYTHING IS A NARRATIVE

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

Cs will get whatever they want on offense in this series. They’ll win this series if they play legitimate defense.

 

[Ale Xander]

Last time they played 48 minutes was when? Early March?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Good wake up call. Started the globetrotter shit with the big lead then Joe played a regular season lineup and got regular season effort against a team that has been gutting it out the last week.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Celtics offense got gummed up a lot in second quarter—-one on one stuff, not a lot of movement.

I’d say about half of Indiana success is great movement and passing from them and half is shaky defense - especially the Kornet minutes.

Celts need to refocus on both ends. These guys can shoot if we just let it become a 3 pt competition

 

[Helmet Head]

I know the pacers offense is outstanding but the Celtics can also play better defense. Lazy on screens. Lazy switches.

 

[Devizier]

What can I say, that shot was ridiculous

 

[bosockboy]

At some point it can’t be variance.

 

[osori]

Pacers are hitting 50+ from 3 compared to our 31 and still a tie game. Could have been worse.
